Back at it!

Hi guys!

I have been signed onto mfp for years now, each weight loss start with a new username. First time, lost about 60 lbs (woo!).
since then though, I have went from 175 to 270 lbs FML. I have met an amazing man, got married a month ago, moved out from under my father's control and am finally content with where I am, except for the weight.
The hubby and I have started to go to the gym, eat right, but it gets difficult. The chocolate calls my name I tell ya! lol

Anywhoooo, back at it. Yesterday went hard and burned 1250 calories at the gym. That was big for me, but when I saw no change on the scale, blah. and I know, nothing will come after one good day. So today, haven't been eating anything unhealthy, and gym later tonight.
Need some friends looking to lose a good chunk of weight..my focus is on losing weight before all the muscle gain.

Feels great to be back so far! Let's keep eachother motivated!

I sooooooo know what you mean about the chocolate calling your name!!!! I'm a big chocoholic!! I have been on and off here for a couple years too. This is my 2nd week back at it. I have started the gym too ...but cutting out chocolate is a struggle!!!

Hi,
We have a similar story it seems . We got married a little shy of 2 years now and I have started gaining weight post wedding (due to an injury). However, post physio I am trying to put in a lot of effort in being healthier and my most amazing hubby is helping me in all the possible ways. We both are going to gym almost everyday. I have also been burning 1000+ calories at the gym lately and for one week I saw only 0.5 lb weight loss but I hopped on the scale today and found myself 13.6 lbs lighter in a littler over 2 weeks!! Feel free to add me!
Cheers,

p.s I do love chocolate to death too . I found though that dark chocolate is not only full of chocolate (vs sugar), has way more flavour (at least for me (my hubby thinks otherwise))...and less calories!! You may want to try that

My husband has a bit too lose as well, and we are just trying to push eachother as much as possible. I love cooking, and I love finding healthier alternatives to all the junk food. We started about like 2 weeks ago, but I somehow was just not mentally in it. I'd burn off the calories than eat back twice as much after. Since yesterday, I feel back in the zone!
What is your weight loss goal?

I started 2 weeks ago, but I wasn't in it. Yesterday, when I ran and ran (granted, on the elliptical) I felt great, and back into it mentally. So excited to go to the gym later tonight as well

I purchased a huge box of special k strawberry bars. My local big lots had them on sale for 5 bucks, couldn't turn it down and they are delicious!
